Copyright and DMCA policy

InsuranceQuoteWidget respects intellectual property rights and expects its customers to do the same. Agencies host text, images, logos and custom styling in calculators and widgets they publish through our service. If you believe something hosted through the service infringes your copyright, this page explains how to tell us, under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).

Who is the designated agent?

Send notices to our designated copyright agent at [email protected], with "DMCA notice" in the subject line.

What must a notice include?

Under 17 U.S.C. 512(c)(3), a notice must be in writing and include:

1. a physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act for them;
2. identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed, or a representative list if several works are involved;
3. identification of the material claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient for us to locate it, such as the URL of the page or calculator;
4. your contact information: name, address, telephone number and email address;
5. a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law;
6. a statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

Incomplete notices may not be acted on. Knowingly misrepresenting that material is infringing can make you liable for damages under 17 U.S.C. 512(f).

What happens after a valid notice?

We remove or disable access to the material promptly and notify the customer who published it, including a copy of the notice.

How does a counter-notice work?

If your material was removed and you believe it was a mistake or misidentification, send a counter-notice to [email protected] that includes:

1. your physical or electronic signature;
2. identification of the material removed and where it appeared before removal;
3. a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification;
4. your name, address and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address (or, if outside the US, any judicial district where we may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice.

We forward the counter-notice to the original complainant. Unless they tell us within 10 business days that they have filed a court action, we may restore the material within 10 to 14 business days after receiving the counter-notice.

What is the repeat infringer policy?

We terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of customers who are repeat infringers. We may also remove material or suspend accounts without a notice where infringement is clear.

Is this for trademark complaints too?

Trademark concerns, such as an agency misusing a carrier's logo, are not covered by the DMCA, but we review them under the acceptable use policy. Send them to [email protected].
